GOP Trouble Ahead
Posted by Andy on May 18th, 2007
Republican Party of Minnesota Standing Platform
Section 9 — Defending America at Home and Abroad
E. Strengthening our borders against the threat of terrorism and stopping the flow of illegal immigrants, and deporting illegal aliens. We are against amnesty for illegal aliens. We oppose any program that will allow illegal aliens to remain in the United States.
Just a reminder of what the Republican Party of Minnesota’s Delegates think US immigration policies should be, in case some people have forgotten.
Exactly what part of illegal alien don’t you get?
I have a strong feeling if this Amnesty Bill becomes law that conservatives will be emigrating from the GOP….. again at election time.
Think twice, vote once.

Yes, because Democrats are such strong Immigration Reform advocates. Yes, Al Franken is going to deport all those illegal immigrants when he’s elected… no wait, Mike Ceresi is going to deport… no wait, um, who are all those “conservatives” going to vote for again?

The Speaker of the House will not bring it to the floor, unless the Republicans can guarantee 70 votes for passage.
There are people on both sides of the isle that do not like this bill. Some say it’s to strong, not strong enough, needs more tweaking. It will not be passed for a while.

I think Matt is right. No one on either side of the immigration debate likes this bill - which makes me think that maybe it’s not all that horrible

From what I have read about what is rumored to be in the bill, I don’t like it.

From what I read, it says all the right things, but doesn’t guarantee or ensure nearly enough of them. The biggest fault I see is that there is no requirement for illegals to “come forward,” zero incentive for them to do so, and no “what if” if they don’t (which they won’t). It will be 1986 all over again, with massive incentives for INCREASED illegal crossing of our border, and no disincentives except for a short fence. I think it can be fixed, but I doubt it will be.
